DTN News - INDIA NEWS: Another Hawk Anti-Corruption Crusader Baba Ramdev Taking Government By Storm....NSI News Source Info # 2026(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - June 1, 2011:
The government's efforts to get Baba Ramdev to call off his fast against corruption seem to have fallen through. Having turned down Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's appeal, yoga guru Baba Ramdev, who landed in New Delhi on Wednesday, said his fast-unto-death in the capital from June 4 over the issues of black money and corruption would go as planned, saying "until there is an agreement on all issues with the government", he would not relent.
"Over one crore people from across the nation will take part in our satyagraha in Delhi," Baba Ramdev said after having the first round of meeting with government emissaries in the capital.
Expressing satisfaction over the 'extensive discussion', Baba Ramdev said, "There were agreements on some issues. But until an agreement is reached on all issues, our fast will continue. Our demands include bringing back black money stashed away in tax havens, effective mechanism to stop wide-spread corruption, a public service delivery guarantee system and fast-track courts to deliver justice in time."
"Our motto is not to terrify the government. Neither are we against any individual or party," said the yoga guru, adding the government should announce the black money deposited abroad as the 'national property'.
